2 Chronicles 13
1 In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, began Abijah to reign over Judah:
Tango Jeroboami akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi, Abiya akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda
2 three years, reigned he in Jerusalem, and, the name of his mother, was Maacah, daughter of Uriel of Gibeah, —and there was, war, between Abijah and Jeroboam.
mpe akonzaki mibu misato na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Mikaya. » Mikaya azalaki mwana ya Urieli, moto ya Gibea. Ezalaki na etumba kati na Abiya mpe Jeroboami.
3 And Abijah began the war with a force of heroes of war, four hundred thousand chosen men, —and, Jeroboam, set in array against him to battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men, heroes of valour.
Bongo kati na mampinga na bango, emonanaki ete Abiya azalaki na bilombe ya bitumba nkoto nkama minei, mpe Jeroboami, nkoto nkama mwambe.
4 And Abijah stood up upon Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, —and said, Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel!
Abiya atelemaki na likolo ya ngomba Tsemarayimi oyo ezali kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, mpe alobaki: « Jeroboami mpe Isalaele, boyoka ngai malamu!
5 Is it not yours to know, that, Yahweh God of Israel gave the kingdom to David, over Israel, unto times age-abiding, —to him and to his sons, by a covenant of salt?
Boyebi te ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apesa mpo na libela bokonzi ya Isalaele epai ya Davidi mpe bana na ye na nzela ya boyokani oyo ekoki kobongwana te?
6 Yet hath Jeroboam son of Nebat, servant of Solomon son of David, risen up, —and rebelled against his lord.
Kasi Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, mosali ya Salomo, mwana mobali ya Davidi, atelemaki mpo na kotombokela mokonzi na ye.
7 And there are gathered unto him vain men, sons of the Abandoned One, who emboldened themselves against Rehoboam son of Solomon, -when, Rehoboam, was young and tender of heart, and had not strengthened himself to meet them.
Bato pamba mpe bato oyo bazanga tina basanganaki elongo na ye mpe batombokelaki Roboami, mwana mobali ya Salomo, tango azalaki elenge! Bongo lokola akembaki nanu te na mosala, alongaki mpe te kotelema liboso na bango.
8 Now, therefore, ye, are thinking to strengthen yourselves against the kingdom of Yahweh, in the hand of the sons of David, —and, ye, are a great multitude, and, with you, are calves of gold, which Jeroboam hath made you for gods.
Mpe sik’oyo, bokani kotelemela bokonzi ya Yawe, oyo ezali na maboko ya bana ya Davidi! Bobongisi mampinga minene mpe bozali, kati na bino, na bikeko ya bana ngombe oyo Jeroboami asalelaki bino lokola banzambe.
9 Have ye not driven out the priests of Yahweh, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, —and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of the countries? Whosoever cometh to install himself with a young bullock, and seven rams, then becometh he a priest unto the, no-gods.
Boni, bobenganaki te Banganga-Nzambe ya Yawe, bana mibali ya Aron, mpe Balevi? Bomikomisaki te banganga-nzambe ya banzambe ya bikeko ndenge bato ya bikolo mosusu basalaka? Moto na moto azalaki koya na ngombe moko ya mobali mpe bameme sambo ya mibali oyo azalaki kozwa na etonga na ye, mpo ete bakomisa ye nganga-nzambe ya oyo ezali kutu banzambe te.
10 But, as for us, Yahweh, is our God, and we have not forsaken him, —and, the priests who are waiting upon Yahweh, are sons of Aaron, with Levites in the work;
Nzokande epai na biso, Yawe nde azali Nzambe na biso, mpe tosundola Ye te; bana mibali ya Aron nde bazali Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalelaka Ye, mpe Balevi basungaka bango.
11 and they are making a perfume unto Yahweh, with ascending-sacrifices morning by morning, and evening by evening and an incense of sweet spices, and are putting in order bread upon the pure table, and the lampstand of gold with the lamps thereof, for lighting up evening by evening, for, observant, are we of the charge of Yahweh our God, —whereas, ye, have forsaken him.
Tongo mpe pokwa nyonso, tobonzelaka Yawe bambeka ya kotumba mpe ya malasi, totandaka mapa likolo ya mesa ya bule; mpe pokwa nyonso, topelisaka minda ya etelemiselo ya minda, pamba te biso totosaka mitindo ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso; kasi bino, bosundolaki Ye.
12 And lo! with us as Head, is God himself, and his priests, and the trumpets of alarm, to sound an alarm against you, —O sons of Israel! do not fight against Yahweh God of your fathers, for ye shall not prosper.
Tala, Nzambe azali elongo na biso lokola Motambolisi; Banganga-Nzambe na Ye bakobeta kelelo na lokito makasi mpo na kotelemela bino. Bana ya Isalaele, bobundisa te Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bino, pamba te bokolonga ata moke te. »
13 But, Jeroboam, sent round an ambush, to come up from behind them, —so they were before Judah and, the ambush, did come up from behind them.
Na tango wana, Jeroboami atindaki limpinga moko ya basoda mpo ete babombama na sima ya basoda ya Yuda. Boye, basoda ya Yuda bazwamaki lokola na motambo: liboso na bango, ezalaki na mampinga ya Isalaele; mpe sima na bango, basoda oyo babombamaki.
14 And, when Judah turned and lo! as for them, the battle was before and behind, then made they outcry unto Yahweh, —and, the priests, kept on blowing with the trumpets.
Mpe wana basoda ya Yuda babalukaki, basosolaki ete babundisami na liboso mpe na sima na mbala moko. Boye, bagangaki epai na Yawe, mpe Banganga-Nzambe babetaki kelelo.
15 Then the men of Judah gave a shout, —and it came to pass, when the men of Judah shouted, then, God himself, smote Jeroboam and all Israel, before Abijah and Judah.
Basoda ya Yuda babetaki lokito ya bitumba; mpe na lokito na bango, Yawe Nzambe akweyisaki Jeroboami mpe Isalaele nyonso liboso ya Abiya mpe ya Yuda.
16 And the sons of Israel fled from before Judah, —and God delivered them into their hand.
Basoda ya Isalaele bakimaki liboso ya basoda ya Yuda, mpe Nzambe akabaki bango na maboko ya basoda ya Yuda.
17 And Abijah and his people smote among them with a great smiting, —and there fell down slain, of Israel, five hundred thousand chosen men.
Abiya mpe mampinga na ye bazwaki elonga monene liboso ya mampinga ya Isalaele mpe babomaki bilombe ya Isalaele pene nkoto nkama mitano.
18 Thus were the sons of Israel subdued at that time, —and the sons of Judah prevailed, because they leaned upon Yahweh the God of their fathers.
Na tango wana, basoda ya Isalaele basambwaki; kasi ba-oyo ya Yuda bazwaki elonga, pamba te batiaki elikya na Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango.
19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and captured from him, cities, even Bethel, with the villages thereof, and Jeshanah, with the villages thereof, —and Ephron, with the villages thereof;
Abiya alandaki Jeroboami mpe abotolaki ye bingumba ebele: Beteli, Yeshana mpe Efroni elongo na bamboka na yango ya zingazinga.
20 neither was Jeroboam strong any more, in the days of Abijah, —and Yahweh smote him that he died.
Na mikolo nyonso oyo Abiya azalaki na bokonzi, Jeroboami azongelaki te nguya na ye ya kala. Yawe abetaki ye mpe akufaki.
21 And Abijah strengthened himself, and took him, fourteen wives, —and begat twenty-two sons, and sixteen daughters.
Nzokande, Abiya alendisaki bokonzi na ye. Abalaki basi zomi na minei mpe abotaki bana mibali tuku mibale na mibale mpe bana basi zomi na motoba.
22 And, the rest of the story of Abijah, both his ways and his words, —are written, in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.
Makambo mpe misala mosusu ya Abiya, etamboli mpe maloba na ye, ekomama kati na buku ya masolo ya momoni makambo Ido.
